Recently on our disability forum a user asked, “I have applied for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits (SSDI). I understand that if I have children they might, under specific circumstances, also qualify for benefits. Can you tell me more about SSDI auxiliary benefits and whether my kids can receive them?”

Recently on our disability forum a user asked, “I broke my back on the job when a large beam fell from a crane. I applied for workers’ compensation which I am currently receiving. I then tried to apply for SSDI benefits, but I was told that I did not qualify. Something about insufficient work credits. Can you help me understand why I was denied and what options I have to receive the benefits I think I deserve?”

Recently on our legal forum a user asked, “I was injured at work. My company is refusing to pay workers compensation for the injury because they said that my negligent actions- horseplay with another employee- negated their legal obligations. I am going to challenge the denial, but if I lose can I still apply for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)?”

Recently on our disability forum a user asked, “I was paralyzed in a car accident. My doctor says that I will never walk again or regain functionality in my hands. I was a nurse prior to the personal injury, but I know that I will not be able to go back to work. What steps should I take now? I know I will get a personal injury settlement from the at fault driver, but I am also wondering whether I can also get Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for my injuries?”

Recently on our legal forum a user asked, “I have recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. Given the complexity of treatment and the likelihood that I will miss a lot of days at work doing chemotherapy, I am wondering if I should just quit work and apply for disability benefits. I know I might qualify for disability benefits through the SSA but I am wondering if there are any other long-term disability benefit options?”
